Question

1. a student counts the cells in an onion root tip. the majority of the cells are not actively dividing. in what stage are most of these cells found? prophase interphase anaphase metaphase

Explanation:

Cell cycle has interphase (pre - division preparation) and mitotic phase (division). Interphase is the longest stage. Cells in interphase grow, replicate DNA, and prepare for division. So non - dividing cells are mostly in interphase. Prophase, anaphase, and metaphase are mitotic (dividing) stages.

Answer:

interphase
